Ahoy hoy!
I have a new build I’m tryin to cobble together but I can’t get it to post the first time.
I have a ASRock B650E Taichi M/B, Ryzen 7 7600x cpu, an EVGA 850w Gold, a MSI 2060, 32 gig of ram, 1tb SSD and a 1000gig HDD, all in a Fractal Torrent case. I’ve hooked everything up and can see the RGB and smart switches light up, but when I hit either power button I get no response.
I’ve reseated the cables, removed the GPU, reseated the ram, waited hours, and nothin, not even the fans kickin up. What Am I missin?
make sure you have a cable directly from monitor to the motherboard/GPU if you installed one already. Don’t go through a dock as some docks need firmware drivers, that could be the cause of failure.
I had something like this once, in that case it was front io connected to wrong pins on motherboard.
Reseated them again and made sure they were all facing the same way now, per the book, and still nothin
Had the same exact issue - upgrade BIOS. You need to download from ASRock, write to USB, and follow instructions using the button on motherboard since no display.
Your board has a debugging code at the bottom, do they light up?
If they do, you can find the number in the manual
If they don’t light up, then I’d assume the board isn’t getting power, try removing the mobo from the case and check if you’ve got any case standoffs in places where they’d touch the mobo.
Your CPU has integrated graphics, so while the motherboard’s out try testing it with just the CPU, RAM and PSU.
If it still doesn’t work you might have to try using a different mobo / try and get an RMA on your current.
edit: you waited hours, nevermind. But fyi-
Is it doing the ddr5 training?

Remove everything but the PSU, motherboard, and CPU. Everything, including RAM, fans, front USB, power button, etc. Then short the power-on pin to ground.
Also try testing the PSU independently as mentioned in the other comment by shorting green to black.
On the off chance your front io buttons are broken, try bridging the contacts with a screwdriver?
Also, you may want to test your PSU by bridging the green wire to black, on the large 20 pin connector (disconnect first to be safe)
The board has a power button on it as well that also doesn’t respond, the RGB and buttons on the board light up though nothin
Pretty unlikely that the board button and the case button are both broken, you may have a brick on your hands.
Worth testing the PSU anyway, in case only one of the voltages is broken. But you’ll need a multimeter.
Are you sure you used the right number of standoffs underneigth? No shorts or anything?
